Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 569: Our Connection

Bang!

Unexpectedly, the bowl of porridge in Cristian's hand tipped over. The sound of the porcelain hitting the floor shook him to the core and at the same time struck Serena's heart.

She turned her head and turned her back to Cristian. He said fiercely.

-I don't need you to be here to get hysterical. I can take care of myself even if I am sick. Even if I die of illness, it has nothing to do with you. I don't even need you to feed me porridge here, I don't need anything!

There was a silence behind her, as if no one was there.

But only Serena knew that Cristian was probably seriously hurt by her.

As she was angry, as she scolded him, tears also flowed from the corner of her eyes and she could not stop herself.

She did not want, did not want to see Cristian looking at her with such humility.

Cristian had completely violated her previous principle. He was not like that. He was the proudest man who ran the mall, not someone who could condescend in front of her.

She did not want to see him in that state.

Serena reached out her hand and wiped away her tears. Then she lay with her back to Cristian and pulled the blanket over herself, trying to bury all the voices.

The room was silent for a long time, and finally made a small noise.

The sound of the porcelain shards colliding with each other was very small, but it was enough for people to hear it clearly in a silent room.

"Was that Cristian cleaning the debris off the floor?" Serena's eyes filled with tears again and she bit her lip hard.

"Why, why is he so humble? I've already treated him like this, he can't turn around and leave, why does he stay here and suffer these ills?" Serena closed her eyes and tried to ignore those sounds in her heart. Finally the room fell silent and Serena put her head out of the quilt.

She took a deep breath, sat down, and found that the floor had been cleaned.

Treating Cristian this way did not make her cheerful, but gave her a great pain in her heart.

However, she could not smile at Cristian.

Both ways were difficult.

What she hoped for most now was that he would never appear in front of her again.

Because every time he appeared, her heart went into turmoil.

She did not know how to make decisions.

Getting up in silence, Serena went to the bathroom and changed her clothes. When she came out, Cristian brought her a new bowl, but this time she did not step forward and only said in a low voice, "Since you don't want to see me, I'll go first. I will bring you a bowl again. Remember to drink the porridge later.

She did not answer him. She turned her head away, not even looking at him.

Then there was a sound of footsteps, the sound of Cristian leaving.

Serena finally could not help but turn her head away to look at his back.

His back was very beautiful, but now it showed a sense of loneliness and desolation that made her uncomfortable.

Hearing the sound of the door closing downstairs, Serena moved and approached the table.

The porridge was kept warm in the pot that Cristian had brought her and put in her room for her to eat.

And he had gotten a new bowl. Serena sat down, poured the porridge, took a spoon and put it in her mouth.

The warm porridge had a slight fragrance of rice between her lips and teeth. Serena ate it steadily, tears suddenly flowing from her eyes.

Finally, she could not help but cry.

Bastard!

You bastard Cristian! Why couldn't he turn around and get out right away?

Why had he done so many things for her?

He had made it clear that it was impossible to accept it.

Why?

After Cristian had left, he went back to the front room, the first thing he did when he re-entered the room was to turn on the screen, then he sat down and watched it. After a while, he suddenly felt some discomfort in his stomach, Cristian reached out his hand to cover the position of his stomach, pressing his thin lips tightly together. After a while, he laughed at himself and threw himself on the sofa.

-But I'm crazy.

In the evening, Serena felt that her head was no longer spinning, so she opened the door to go downstairs and wander around.

She did not want to go out today after what had happened last night, but it was daytime, and those people were not supposed to be so rampant.

Besides, waiting for death was not a solution.

When Serena went outside to wait for the elevator, she suddenly heard the sound of the door in front.

She was a little puzzled. For a long time, it seemed that she had never seen the neighbor across the street since she moved in. She had thought that no one lived here. But now that she thought about it, she and Anna went out early and came back late to work every day, they couldn't match the time, so it was normal that they hadn't met.

Thinking about this, Serena shook her head slightly, just in time to see the elevator floor rise to its own level.

She fixed her hair and then took a step forward as she was about to enter.

Din.

After the elevator door opened, just as Serena was moving, he was grabbed by the wrist by someone.

-Do you want to come out now? The fever just went down.

A cold voice said. Serena turned her head in surprise, staring incredulously at the man who had appeared before her.

-You, why are you here?

At the sight of the handsome man, Serena was surprised. And after being surprised, she had turned to the door behind him and asked him, -You... Do you live here?

If he did not live on the other side, how could he appear here from nowhere?

However, if he lived across the street, why had she not met him for so long?

Had it been a coincidence or had she arranged it in advance?

To resolve her doubts, Cristian explained, "After what happened, I moved here.

She opened her eyes wide and still could not believe it.

Then his speed was too high, and.... Her attitude changed, she quickly asked, "So how do you know I'm coming out?

The door was closed, wasn't it?"

Could it be that he had been standing by the door listening for its movement? It was not impossible, but too strange. And according to Cristian's wit, he wouldn't have done that. So-why did he know she would come out? Only one possibility remained.

Serena's eyes searched her surroundings, the door of her house and the door of the house across the street.

Cristian watched her movements, put a hand in his pocket and leaned against the wall.

Of course he knew what she was looking for, but he had no intention of telling her yet.

Otherwise she would have a rebellious attitude toward herself and he would no longer be able to protect her.

-Don't look for them. There are no cameras here. I know simply because of our bond.

Hearing this, Serena couldn't help but laugh, -Do you think I'm stupid?"
